instead of a gotoand stop or gotoand play command for buttons, is there an action you can assign to a button that will make the playhead continue on to a keyframe THEN go to another part of the timeline?

Hi,

The play(); command will work. You should be creating an event listener to handle any code that you would like your button to do when pressed. So after you press a button you should use the play(); command. Here is a quick sample:

import flash.events.MouseEvent;
import flash.events.Event;
 
myButton_mc.buttonMode = true;
myButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, makePlay);
 
function makePlay(e:Event){
                play();
}

Will you please clarify what you are trying to do when you state “THEN go to another part of the timeline”
